Springfield, MA – American International College (AIC) celebrated its 139th commencement ceremony at the MassMutual Center on May 11, sending 603 graduates into their future with either bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degrees. For the class of 2024, this was an especially poignant celebration. For many, it was their chance to finally walk across the stage and collect their hard-earned diploma after missing out on in-person high school graduations due to the pandemic. COVID-19 also led to this group of students beginning their college careers with online classes.
